+1.1.1 Florian Eggenhofer <egg@informatik.uni-freiburg.de> 7. May 2017
+	* Fixed use of vector index instead of column number for col index and label placing
 1.1.0 Florian Eggenhofer <egg@informatik.uni-freiburg.de> 7. May 2017
 	* Specific column labels are now passed as color vectors independent of model indices
 	* Added consensus secondary structure to alignment visualisation
